Arizona’s in 2006 failed. It was then passed in 2008.

The 2006 proposal was a much more complicated amendment than prop 102, a stripped down version, that was passed in 2008.

The measure carried no immediate practical impact since same-sex marriage already is banned under a 1996 Arizona law. Supporters said adding the ban to the constitution would prevent judges from one day overturning that law.
